My escort cosworth project/ tidy up.
Hi,
had my escort cosworth about a month now, so it was time to start pulling it apart. its a large turbo on a k plate with 40k on the clock. this is how it was when i got it last month; https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture065.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture066.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture067.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture071.jpg First job was to remove the front bumper so i could fit the standard head lights back in, fit some rs500 fog light grills and take the bumper mesh and brackets off for powder coating. the bumper is off at the moment as im ordering a c/c front bib and hockey sticks in matt carbon look :cool: I have also removed the chrome sill covers and replaced them with some realy nice carbon fibre jobbies from Radman :top: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture076.jpg next job was to remove the interior, remove all the ice install/cables and fit the nice new centre console and gear gaitor that was provided with the car!, also had to remove a gear stick lock that was fitted to the car and came up through the console! https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture077.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture078.jpg :eek: it has a boot now!! full tool kit is present and the std towing eye still with the ford sticker on it:) interior is back in, but need to go to ford and order some plastic sill cover screws and need a black allen headed bolt that holds the rear bench in place!. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...Picture074.jpg bumper hung in place to see what the grills look like! also may see the carbon bumper grill blanks also from Radman! ive also wax oiled all the metal on the car behind the bumper. thats it for now, next on the want list is a set of konis on a 30mm drop, and either some rondells or new shape mo's in anthresite:D also would like an msd stage 3 set up at some point :top: i can see iam going to spend sh*t loads on this car :DD: |
Looks superb! Crying out for amber indicators though!

well been busy getting some bits and bobs!
i payed ford a visit and got some amber indicators and repeaters, also got a new set of plastic screws that screw the sill covers down as some of myne were rounded!, also ordered a pair of rear bench bolts as one of myne was silver and one was the proper ford one. Also got my koni adjustables through today, will be fitted with some -30mm springs. Lastly Mike R is sorting me a creative carbon bib and hockey stick set up in matt finish! :top: Just trying to tell my self not to order some monte rims from Paul R!. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...v/DSC00572.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...v/DSC00573.jpg |
Didn't look like it needed anything doing in the 1st place. Good luck with it all mate.
Loving the amber look :cool: |
Thanks Paul,
Its in good condition, but i think where it had the big audio set up, some screws had been miss layed etc when the interior was removed to run the 20miles of cables etc :cry: , at least it's all now proper ford screws and fixings :D can't believe i have not wanted a part so far that is nil stock/nls :eek: |

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...v/DSC00636.jpg Then these arrived! so fitted them up. along with the koni adjustables and the 30mm cobra springs, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...v/DSC00638.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/mag.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...16v/escos3.jpg Then decided to strip the interior again to shampoo the carpet! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/int1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/water.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...16v/carpet.jpg also fitted some new rear lights as the old ones had some very small cracks in made up a patch out of heat resistant mat for the area behind the down pipe, as the standard lagging stuff looked tired! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/temp1.jpg job i have just completed was ditching the multi plugs after some advice from other members, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/wire1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/wire2.jpg no finnished pics yet, but it looks really good and all the wires are in the same plastic type ducting that the standard loom comes in! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/cos11.jpg thats it at the mo! only other thing ive done is fitted all new scuff panels and rear speaker parcel shelf support plastics from ford! |
looking good mate :clap:
|
lovely mate
love the monte wheels |
Looks really nice ,best colour too ;-)
|
Pure sex on wheels m8
|
I have to say I'm not usually keen on white cars mate, but that looks brilliant, especially with those wheels on! :grin:
|
:respekt:think thats the nicest looking escoz ive seen in a long time!
|
That looks the nuts :clap:
|
Perfect....:top:
|
I love white escort's, looks really nice fella!
|
pm where you are in southampton, im in chandlers ford, so about 5 miles from you.
was going to say you must have only just got it, as i've never seen it about. |
Looking well, are you putting graphics on the wheels?
|
ryan pm'd!
Im not sure about the graphics yet, i like them with out! i will swap over to the flat metal centre caps though. |
are you selling the twin head lamps?
|
ahh not too far out at all then mate. will have to meet up one day and admire that very clean escort.
|
Deffo Ryan! being honest both sides could do with being re sprayed, but im not that bothered at the moment!, i have just started the car after soldering the loom and re fitting the interior, every thing is fine except i dont think the fuel gauge is working! its sat on the red line! i know it had under quarter of a tank but i dont think it was on the red! Does any one know where the fuel gauge wires run? ie would this be a fault from soldering the engine loom or disturbing something when re-fitting the interior? DOH!
|
Got some motivation today, so re fitted the arch liners with the new torx bolts :D (no great pictures though!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/arch4.jpg Also a finished shot of the coil area, looks alot neater imo! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/arch1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/arch2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/dan16v/arch3.jpg |
was going to put the car on the road this week but the weather turned rubbish so done this instead,
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...16v/strip1.jpg was thinking of getting a roose hose kit, any one know if any of the hoses run under the inlet? as if so i may aswell get the kit now and fit them whilst its all removed! |
nice looking car, I have a soft spot for a white escos, good work your doing as well

Fast forward from 2008:cry: Paint and put back together by Dave Pritchard in 2016 after being off the road since 2008! He also added a paddle clutch and hydraulic clutch setup which works great Top job and been faultless since https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...5a6e0f53d.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...98eef18ee.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...b9bf7d9e9.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...d2daee59c.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...b55ea9afd.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...7a0fffd22.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...8c7935bad.jpeg |

For peace of mind Car went back to Dave for look over and Pete Dougherty gearbox with straight cut 2nd and 3rd gears. poly diff mount and a few other bits which transformed the iffy rear steer handling |
Looking good Dan. White cossies always look right. I need an escos in my life.

Wow, beautiful car |
Did castle coombe this year, put some federal 595rsr tyres on and stiffened up the konis and car was spot on all day and passed allbut one of the cars on the track the whole day. After that changed the 330 4 pot ap’s to cp5555 6 pots. And 355 rotors. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...28a8f418f.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...878565e9f.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...8fcb3b6c8.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...597424bea.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...6509e0d41.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...dc6044d68.jpeg |
